How to Distinguish Between Straight and Cross Serial Cables

How to Distinguish Between Straight and Cross Serial Cables

Serial cables are divided into straight-through and crossover types. Straight-through cables are generally used to extend connections between a PC and a device, connecting pins 2, 3, and 5 to pins 2, 3, and 5 respectively. This is because PCs usually have male connectors while devices often have female connectors, making them universally compatible for … Read more
